NFL insiders rank head coach hires: John Harbaugh among 4 to receive first-place votes | The Athletic
1. John Harbaugh, New York Giants (42 points, 6 first-place votes). Harbaugh was the runaway winner, much like Vrabel was last year. His peers loved the hire and received six of the nine first-place votes in this poll; the other three respondents ranked him second. “Great coach,” a former head coach said of Harbaugh. “He has gotten the needed power in that organization. He will win.”
League evaluators are generally optimistic about quarterback Jaxson Dart’s potential. The Giants’ personnel has improved over the past year, so Harbaugh has a portion of his young core in place. “Harbaugh seems like a really good fit,” a rival team executive said. “I think he’ll do well. They’ll be really good with their defensive personnel right away. I think they’ll take a Chargers-type of jump when Jim (Harbaugh) took over.”

Seahawks’ ‘ego-less’ Super Bowl ride behind Harbaugh disciple a Giant lesson | New York Daily News
There is a helpful lesson from Seattle’s ascension under head coach Mike Macdonald, however, that could be a good sign for the Giants’ future: Macdonald, a branch of John Harbaugh’s Baltimore Ravens coaching tree, convinced his players that they would be able to celebrate their individual journeys at the end if they worked to get to the mountaintop together.
The Seahawks set a culture: Once they accomplished something as a team, they could enjoy the personal journey, reflect on how it completed the whole. Macdonald, the Harbaugh disciple, got them to buy in.

New York Giants met with Clemson OT Tristan Leigh at Shrine Bowl | USAToday.com
The New York Giants reportedly met with Clemson offensive tackle Tristan Leigh at the East-West Shrine Bowl, signaling early interest in the 2026 NFL draft prospect.
Leigh, a 6-foot-6, 315-pound tackle, was a five-star recruit who spent five seasons with the Tigers after enrolling early in the 2021 class. He redshirted his freshman year, saw limited action early, then broke out as a starter in 2023 (11 of 13 games) and 2024 (all 12 games), contributing to an ACC Championship. After considering the 2025 draft, he returned for 2025 but was limited by an ankle injury in a tougher season. He declared for the 2026 draft after exhausting eligibility.
